it can help, but just a little.
the PE system has a weakness in the mid rpms (2800-3300)
you are lucky if you can get 1-2 hp in that range.

i want the PE because i want a sleeper........i wonder what matchbox was running in the 1/4 b4 he sold his box for da mini but then again i think he onlee did da 1/8 mile.....i know he ran like 10 something in the 1/8.......
actually, it is a real dog below those rpms...then in the top end of that range two things happen.
1. the SC stops becoming a parasitic drain on the system and starts making boost.
2. the normal power band of the motor also peaks.(vvt does it's magic too) you should be able to feel this 'kick' in your own car. when you add the SC it just makes it more of a 'kick'.
the PE is a sleeper. you have no tell tale sings, no noise...just a quicker than stock whip.
i forget what Matchbox was running down the track, but he did top out at 144hp.
he used the CamCon to tune with (at first) he got about 3.5 hp after doing about 20 dyno pulls.

yup, he had some oversized heavy 19's on there when he pulled those numbers.
if ZPI got 180 with their setup, i wonder what a stock xB would have??? 130whp??
which is why i get better numbers from lighter 18's (thinking of droping to 17's, then seeing what i get.)

sup guys wow this thread grew lol, im lookin into the greddy turbo kit since its alot less expensive, and if i ever rebuild my engine i can up the psi alot easier im just waiting for that credit card to get here
didnt matchbox have problems with the camcom when he first got it?........yea he was pretty quick with some heavy 19s on there...........now i gotta save up for the PE and for some 16" Rota Slips
i don't remember him having trouble with the unit, rather he did not have the baseline settings.
once he got the baseline settings from PE, it was fine.
i had problems with the CamCon and asked him what he experienced...his setup never had the issues i did.

if it is real quite (no radio and other traffic) i can hear a little bit of boost noise. open a window and the noise is covered up.
PE is a sleeper kit.
enjoy the performance. surprise everyone.

i never really heard the roots style for the xb.
i know the roots systems for other cars and they used a toothed belt. they would drill little hole in the toothed pulley to quiet it down....
and hp is nice, but torque is what really makes it fun.

there was another thread...but you can search for it...
shouldnt there onlee b a weekness in first gear since that would most likely b da onlee time where you would b in the 2800-3300rpms well when your gunning it anyways then after 1st gear your basically above 3300rpm and then thats nothing but boost right? correct me if im wrong........but yea im fine with the high end boost with gas prices now a days but then again my rpm is normally above 3000rpm anyways cuzz of my heavy foot
